The Punjab government has expanded its electric Green Bus Service to six additional districts, bringing eco-friendly public transport to Attock, Bhakkar, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Khanewal, and Khushab.
The initiative is part of Punjab’s broader effort to modernize public transport, improve daily mobility, and reduce dependence on conventional fuel-based vehicles.
Affordable and Modern Travel
The newly introduced buses are air-conditioned and operate on electric power. The government has set a flat fare of Rs. 20 per ride, aiming to make modern public transport accessible for a wide range of commuters.
The service is expected to support women, students, workers, senior citizens, and other residents who rely on affordable daily transportation.
A Step Towards Cleaner Mobility
Electric buses can help reduce emissions and improve air quality by lowering reliance on diesel and petrol-powered public transport. The Green Bus Service is also designed to provide a more comfortable, reliable, and modern commuting experience.
Expansion Plans Across Punjab
The Punjab government has announced plans to continue expanding the electric bus network. Officials have set a target of bringing 1,100 buses into operation during the current year, with a broader goal of reaching 5,000 electric buses within the next three years.
The network is expected to expand in phases from district-level operations to tehsil-level areas across Punjab.
Final Thoughts
The Green Bus Service expansion represents an important step towards affordable, accessible, and sustainable public transport in Punjab. The success of the initiative will depend on reliable routes, regular service, charging infrastructure, and continued investment in public mobility.
